ABA Keeper League Draft Thread, 2008

This is the official ABA Keeper League Draft Thread. All Owners, please make your selections in this thread.

Hopefully by now everyone has had a chance to look over the protected list and draft order I sent out yesterday.

There will be no clock until 9 a.m. Indy time on Saturday, October 11. Up to that point, pick at your own pace. I will be starting the draft in a few minutes on sports.ws so owners can see what positions players are listed at and also as another way of seeing what players are available. Do NOT draft on sports.ws - all picks are to be made on PD.

Here's the draft order - I believe I have all the team names changed to reflect the current season:

And here are the protected players - keep in mind the NBA team listing is as of last season so those aren't 100% accurate. I've left off the positions - check sports.ws for what they're listed at. These are the folks you CAN'T draft.

Please note that I should have Kurt Thomas, not Kenny Thomas. Also I gave up my first round pick in order to keep Yi Jianlian. If either Kurt or Yi show up in your player sorts, please don't pick them. Thanks!

I just switched that - sorry. I added KT to your contingency list - he'll be yours once your 10th rd pick comes up on the site.

Re: ABA Keeper League Draft Thread, 2008

Unfortunately, I can't add players past the 9th rd because the site won't let me just drop a draft pick and replace it with a player. As for Yi, he's on the protected list on the first post in this thread.

Re: ABA Keeper League Draft Thread, 2008

That has the potential to really blow up on you, worse than whomever it was that picked Primoz Brezac with a very high pick a few years back. Are you sure you understood that this is a keeper league, not a crapper league?
